PLAYER OF THE SERIES
Smriti Mandhana

Healy takes the trophy and the whole group poses for the cameras. Australia have won every single bilateral ODI series against India, going as far back as 1984. Incredible dominance across different eras. And yet again, approaching a World Cup, they're looking like the team to beat. India had their chances, with Mandhana leading the way with 300 runs in the series, but it wasn't enough as she didn't have much support. They'll take heart, though, from the fight shown and will go into their home WC believing they can go all the way. The tournament starts in 10 days with the opener between India and Sri Lanka in Guwahati. That's all for now. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Vinod Kumar and Raju Peethala. Goodbye!

Healy | Australia captain: That's probably one of the flattest wickets I've played on. A great game of cricket and we came out with the result that we wanted which was the main thing. We just spoke about how this is basically a T20. Can we just approach this as a T20, squeeze as much as we could possibly can. If we could keep the boundaries out, which was a really difficult thing to do, we might be able to break through the middle order and we were able to do that. Was a tough wicket and full credit to the girls for hanging in there. Most people have got a run in the series which is fantastic for us heading into a WC. We're well placed, hope to take momentum into the tournament. You can't defend a WC, you have to go out there and win it. You've got to beat every side in the world to lift that trophy and something that drives this group. India played a fantastic series and will be one to watch out in the WC but I'm looking forward to it.

Mandhana | Player of the Series: The only thing is not to think anything, just react to the ball. We knew the wicket is good and outfield is fast and we'll get value for our shots. You don't have a choice when you're chasing 400, have to play that brand of cricket. Was a good game for women's cricket. Nothing, just focusing on the routines I want to do. Keeping it simple and not overthinking.

Mooney | Player of the Match: Was a really nice wicket. Volly and Pez got us off to a really nice start and had a big partnership, wanted to keep that momentum going. We were just out there batting, building a partnership, picking off the bowlers where we could. As the game went on, the total kept blowing out. We were aiming for 430 at one point, then 450, and sort of slowed down at the back end. We would've taken that at the start of the day to be honest. First and foremost just want to contribute to the team. Playing in these conditions and understanding them is really important going into a WC. Hopefully they're not all as flat as that wicket and it doesn't feel like a T20 for 100 overs.

Harmanpreet | India captain: Not liking the fact of being on the losing side. But throughout the series we played good cricket. Lot of learnings for us. The way Deepti and Sneh also batted, even the last game how Sneh batted and that shows we have depth in our batting and can play our shots. Fielding is something we're really working hard. Unfortunately we're still missing those chances. Lot of positive takeaways and learnings. You're always asking me about our combination. Good thing is we have so many players now and we can try a lot of combinations. World Cup is a long tournament and it's about whoever is best for the particular day. Was a good series. We gave them a tough series.

Time for the presentations...

Kim Garth: I don't think I have ever played a game of cricket where I had to go to T20 death bowling in 3rd or 4th over, huge credit to our bowling unit for sticking it out during the tough phase. We had to go to T20 plans very early and wanted to be clear with what we wanted to do and the execution as well. We took 2 quick wickets (Harmanpreet and Smrithi) in that period and that was a big momentum swinger in the game. She (Smriti) is an incredible player and is in incredible form, you just got to put your best ball and hope for the best. It was a batter-friendly wicket today and hopefully during the World Cup, we will get a few bowling-friendly wickets.

21:12 Local Time, 15:42 GMT, 21:12 IST: Close to 800 runs scored in the series decider today on a belter of a pitch in Delhi. There were two knocks, one from each team, that stood out from the rest. For Australia, Mooney smashed a hundred off just 57 balls. Healy, at the toss, said they wanted India "to run around in the heat", and boy did they make that happen. It was a leather hunt of the utmost agony, although a late collapse kept them from reaching even greater peaks than the 412 that they ended up with. In reply, Smriti Mandhana went even faster than Mooney as she batted like a dream to smash her own record for the fastest hundred by an Indian batter. At one stage, when her partnership with captain Harmanpreet Kaur was going strong, India were right on track and had brought the required rate down to under 7. But from 206/2 in 20 overs, they collapsed to 261/6 in the next nine overs. And despite Deepti Sharma's quickfire fifty, it was too much to do from that position.

Kim Garth to Renuka Singh, out Caught by Georgia Voll!! Oh good catch. With that, Australia clinch the series 2-1 and maintain the perfect series record against India. They've won 11 out of 11 bilateral ODI series between these two teams. Slower one on middle and leg, full ball, Renuka clears the front leg and lofts down the ground. Voll has a lot of ground to cover from long-on and she does really well. Renuka Singh c Georgia Voll b Kim Garth 2(4)

Schutt to Sneh Rana, out Stumped!! Fumble from Healy but she recovers and has so much time as Sneh Rana is way down the crease, she breaks the stumps before the batter can get back. Fired into the pads, Sneh Rana uses her feet and misses the flick, tough take for Healy as the ball came in between bat and pad, she can't collect it cleanly, but the ball hasn't gone far. Australia just a wicket away now. Sneh Rana st Healy b Schutt 35(41) [4s-3]
